Last week, our High School science students had the privilege of meeting Dr. Tsukada, of the Department of Hematology at the Japanese Red Cross Medical Center, and learning about his incredible work with Hematological malignancies and stem cell transplantation. Dr. Tsukada explained how the shortage of bone marrow donors in Japan, especially in the young generation, has become an issue of major medical concern. He also shared his hopes that more young people will consider becoming donors in the future by registering with the Japan Marrow Donor Program (JMDP). We thank Dr. Tsukada for sharing with us the details of his vital work and for shedding light on this emerging topic of medical and societal importance.
